Yeah, random as hell, I know. But considering the Drunky Thread and some others, I figured why not? This forum has a lot of oddball personalities so I’m sure there’s got to be some stories. What about UFO’s? Anyone?
I’ll post a story if anyone else does, just so I don’t seem like the only crazy person.
yup.
and my kid has too.
some see 'em and most don’t. in mexico i had a bunch of encounters which really freaked me out.
i would like to go to sleep and wake up, be on with it, and sometimes that isn’t so convenient.happens rarely, but yes.
honest.
never, not once, doesn’t happen. How can there be ghosts when the person it’s supposed to be is rotting in the ground? Also how come these “ghosts” are always wearing clothes? where do these ghosts shop at and how come they show up with clothes? clothes aren’t ghostly and yet there they are with suspenders and shit! I know i know ghosts are the souls of people BUT clothes don’t have souls so these people should be showing up naked!!
fairy tales to scare children and ways to explain what’s not readily explainable. For the longest time when you died you were in a tunnel walking towards the light… now we know that that the light is your ocular nerve being starved for oxygen and the tunnel is your field of view being distorted by said lack of oxygen!

I haven’t seen a ghost but the ship I was on was supposedly haunted by a few ghosts.
This was hilarious to me because i misread it at first to have it say, "I haven’t seen a ghost but the SPACEship I was on was supposedly haunted by a few ghosts. "
too funny!

In Mexican folklore there’s this urban legend of this woman named La Llorona (sp?), this crazy bitch that drowned her children and killed herself, and forever roams the earth screaming “My children, my children…” Legend has it that if you hear her screaming, you’re basically on Death’s short list, and if you hear a scream and a knock at the door, and answer it, someone close to you will die. I personally believe this to be partially true.
I’ve seen some apparitions in my day, and some weird Stephen King-esque shit go down.
True Story:
I was in rural Maine in a car with a few friends, going to to a friend’s house. The thing about Maine is it’s simply a few major cities with nothing but trees and the occasional small village in between. Well, in this particular car ride, we pass by a river. I look outside, and across the river in a bunch of trees, I see this particularly dilapidated shack. That’s creepy enough as is, but as I look away to get a cigarette and look back, in the window of the shack, I see, and I kid you not: a clean, pink dress.
I told my friend at the wheel to get the fuck out of there and haul ass.
Well, I did some homework on the area some time later, and there’s actually been some really messed up Deliverance/Hills Have Eyes shit that’s gone on around there. What I saw may have been a ghost, or even worse, may have been some fucked up degenerate with a fresh victim.
Glad I got the fuck out of that place.
I’m a quarter Yaqui Indian, and my great grandmother was a bruja, a witch doctor, basically. As a result, I’m apparently a little more sensitive to weird things that science really can’t explain. Sounds like some X-Files fan’s wet dream/delusion, but I’ve been told it’s true. So yeah, I see and feel, and believe really bizarre things. Ghosts, monsters, aliens, duendes, magic, all that kinda stuff… Yeah, I believe it. There’s just some things out there that we don’t know about, cannot comprehend, and should definitely respect.
I see all kinds of weird things under the influence of drugs.
I’ve seen ghosts all my life
So yeah, I see and feel, and believe really bizarre things… aliens…
Aliens aren’t bizarre Aliens are real! when there are more planets out in space than grains of sand on the earth YOU KNOW there has to be alien life!

I have a friend who is gay and his partner lived in a house here in Melbourne which is supposedly one of the most haunted places in the city. It was even in the paper.
Anyway to address your question, when he was about eight or nine he woke in the middle of the night and realised he had wet the bed…which was weird cos he hadn’t wet the bed since he was four. He got up to change and suddenly got the weirdest feeling deep down in his gut and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.
He turned around and there was a naked girl sitting on a chair across the room and she was crying and muttering something like: Arthur, Arthur…the milk…you’ve hit me and…Arthur the milk…the milk…
He screamed his head off and as soon as he did she disappeared. People came bolting from every room in the house and found the kid on the floor of his room, shaking and covered in piss.
I’d say he was bullshitting had I not heard this story from his family members - who are really no nonsense type people - and seen the article on his house in the paper.
I have never seen anything personally, but in the last house I lived in which was very old, my sister claims she saw a figure walk through her bedroom in the middle of the night and once, as I was turning off the lights and walking upstairs to my room at about 3am, there were footsteps following right behind me wherever I went, even though there was no one there. Freaked me out.
Don’t know what to think.
Naked ghosts!! that’s more like it! was she a hot ghost? Big titties?? Oh man what a great story!

Icepick i’ve heard of the llorona, i think its just to scare the kids, cause if you notice that story is only told to bad little kids. I never bought it when it was told to me.
When I was a kid, I remember playing at an abandoned park with a friend I must of been around 10 or 11. I was walking around and i saw this hole on the side of a building and u know i was curious so i looked inside and i saw a set of slit red eyes, and they were moving towards me and i guess my friend saw it to cos he took off.
Naked ghosts!! that’s more like it! was she a hot ghost? Big titties?? Oh man what a great story!
I’ve asked him questions about it over the years, but never whether or not the ghost had ‘big tits’.
He said it was “terrifying”. Other than that he doesn’t like talking about it much. I don’t think it was the only thing he experienced while living in the house as he was there for nearly ten years. Strange shadows, smells, voices, crying, laughing, objects being displaced, lights turning on by themselves…that kind of thing. That’s what I was told anyway.
Once, the family came home from a night out and found that someone had thrown a blanket (which was kept in an upstairs cupboard) over the dining room table.
Now that would freak me out!!!

In all seriousness did you ask him how old this girl was supposed to be? If there was an old story connected with it? If He’s seen her since? While i don’t believe in ghosts i do sometimes find ghost stories fun if they’re told right! I don’t think a naked ghost could scare me cause I’d be too busy checkin out her assets even more so at 9 or 10 years old cause you’re not supposed to see girls naked when you are that age!

I’ve had a few experiences (one in particular that I would classify as a genuine ‘ghost’ sighting) that I may share later, but first I have a question for the Americans on this board:
What is the JERSEY DEVIL??
I have a few stories but this one is on the lighter side and just kind of weird. One night after my guitarist and I got back from watching the first Saw movie the night it premiered we came back to my house to see that the back door was just totally open. We were both weirded out but kind of just didn’t know what to think about it. After we closed it we started setting up the karma and his guitar to jam out. Well when I looked at my synth I noticed that it had all its knobs on it. That doesn’t sound weird at all but the thing is I bought it used and it was missing one knob from the day i got it.
I have seen an alien… Alien Jourgensen…
you don’t have to get high or watch sci-fi to appreciate that we don’t live in a border patrolled box. i predicted when my great uncle died, because i had a dream about him two hours prior and he was saying goodbye and was not on the brink of death before giving the final salute.
on a lighter note, i’ve never seen a naked ghost, but those i have seen were simply faces–so no detail from the neck down.
Not to take the fun out of this but there’s probably a rational explanation for all such sightings.
[laugh] Who called the principal?
I have a friend whom I’ve known since 5th grade. We stayed the night at each other’s house all the time. In 7th grade he moved to a new house. The first 3 or 4 times I tried to stay at this new house I felt uncomfortable and uneasy and called my parents to come get me without any reasonable explanation. The first time I did stay overnight, I woke in the middle of the night with a paralyzing fear that something was above me. I eventually fell back asleep and explained to myself that it was a nightmare when I woke.
The next time I stayed over we were there by ourselves when at first I heard loud footsteps coming from his dining room which had wood floors. I asked him if he heard them (he was on the phone with his gf) and as the word “no” was coming out of his mouth we both heard loud footsteps. We thought someone had broke in, so we both grabbed baseball bats and decided to make a bolt out the back door to the neighbor’s house. We got to the neighbor’s and called the police but they found nothing in the house. That was as far as my involvement went.
Just weeks after that, my friend and his sister began experiencing weird shit (lights turning on/off, the dog barking intensity at nothing for long periods of time, crying and pissing out of fear, as well as more footsteps. The parents thought they were making shit up or just freaking themselves out, until the mother saw what she said looked like a ball of mist go from one room across the hall to the other right in front of her.
The dad remained skeptical even after the mother wasn’t until the night my friend, the mother and sister returned home and found the dad really freaked out. He made them all go stay at a hotel and he stayed the night there by himself taking pictures with a polaroid camera, of which not one developed right. After that night, the dad wouldn’t say what freaked him out, but they began looking for a new house and they moved out just a few weeks after the incident. Only several years later did the dad tell my friend that he was watching tv and an old woman in a night gown walked right across a doorway on the side of the tv.
These people are really boring people and are not spiritual or weird in any way. My friend said they never really talked about it after they moved from the house. However, my friend ran into his neighbor several years later at a bar and after some beers told her all that went down and why they moved. She told him that herself and both her parents had noticed when they were gone that lights would randomly go on and off, which they attributed to a short or a timer or something else, which they thought made sense b/c it all stopped after they moved out.
Pretty crazy shit. I don’t know what I think about ghosts or anything, and the stuff that involved me all happened before anyone was thinking ghost at all, but it sure as hell happened, and I would vouch for my friend and his family with my house on the line.
Not sure if this is exactly ghost material as such, but my dad knew a young couple who were invited over to Sharon Tate’s house the night she and her guests were murdered by the Manson family.
If I remember correctly they were all set to go and join the party but the girl suddenly complained of intense stomach cramps which she attributed to the onset of her period and so they decided to stay home.
Imagine that. You could tell that story at dinner parties for the rest of your life and no one would ever tire of hearing it.
Creepy.
